"It's 4am, I need a drink. Where should I go?"
"AQA thinks you should go home."
Brilliant.
Me: Did tolkien invent Elves?
TP: No, elves originally from Germanic mythology. Tolkein popularised them as a wise, immortal, and humanoid people -- have been a fantasy staple ever since.
Me: Ok. So who's right? Aqa said that they were of Norse origin.. (and you can't spell tolkien)
TP: Elves appear in Norse, German, Scandinavian and English folklore and different sources claim different origins. Both Norse and Germanic elves have different roots are thought to be light creatures who lived in heaven during the era of Germanic paganism, and may have included dark elves or dwarves underground (as understood to be similar to the alfr of Old Norse mythology). No charge for this and as you were unhappy your next answer will be free.
Me: Hello. I used to buy my flared jeans from GAP, (note: FLARED not BOOT CUT), but they've stopped selling them. Where can I get them now please?
TP: www.ebay.co.uk offers a variety of GAP flare jeans in many colors and sizes. Asking prices currently range from £0.50 - £10.05, not including shipping.
Me: From ebay?! That's a rubbish answer. GAP is a high st store. Ebay isn't.
TP: Apologies if you are unhappy with the previous response and as an apology your next answer will be free. No charge for this response.
Me: Ok. GAP have stopped selling their Flared Jeans range (flared, not boot cut) where else on the high st can I get them? I'm in Twickenham but can get to London.
TP: Topshop (Arcadia Group) on 70 Berners Street London W1T 3NL, sell a flared Jeans for £ 40, a map will follow this text.
Me: I'm a boy texperts! My fault. Should've told you. Topshop is no good to me!
TP: We couldn't find a men's retailer selling flared jeans, however you can purchase Lee Denver Flared Jeans on-line from www.denims4u.co.uk for £42.50
Me: That's more like it. Good work. Love you guys.
As Texperts is a human powered service, we do sometimes misinterpret context, as in Whatleydude's example. Sometimes we need to engage customers in a text conversation to clarify what they are asking - these exchanges only cost you a text (c.10p), not a pound and therefore you only get charged when you receive the information you want. Also, we don't charge you for saying thanks or raising a concern.
I hope that helps clarifies things - please give me a shout if you have any further questions (giles@texperts.com).
Cheers, Giles
:) - Nice one.
